But it does work with Emby (similar software to Plex, but the Emby skill requires an SSL cert for your home server) as well as Tunein, Somafm, Pandora, iHeart, and Amazon Music. So I guess the question is, is there something I need to do on my server to get it working again, or does this seem like a problem with the Echo itself? I’m kind of at my wit’s end with this.Īs of Thur, 9/30, the Plex skill responds properly but no music comes out on the 1st gen Amazon Echo and the Amazon Tap (1st-ish gen). It can see the server and the skill is active – so when I ask it to play some music it does find it, but the problem is it never actually plays. Basically the issue is my 1st Gen Echo stopped playing music from my Plex server in the last week or so. SourceĪpologies I tried searching but didn’t see anything directly to help me. The Plex server finds the song but is unable to play it on the Amazon Echo. Users say that the issue persists even though both the skill and the server are active. Recent user reports suggest that Plex is having trouble playing music on the first generation of Echo devices.

Recently, some Plex users reported that they were facing a video playback error on NVIDIA Shield TV and Google Chromecast after the latest Android app update.Īnd as if that wasn’t enough to trouble Plex users, a new issue related to music playback on Amazon Echo devices has come to light. Plex is basically a client-server media player that runs on almost every platform and is available in more than 43 languages as of now. In the last couple of years, Plex has slowly transformed itself from just a digital media streaming server to a streaming platform that now offers more than 130 live channels for free. It is a solution for those who want to stream media without having to transfer files to their devices. If you own a vast collection of digital content that you want to enjoy anytime, then you must have heard of the popular media server streaming service Plex.
